I've discovered a new favourite place in Sydney. The only issue is, it's pretty close-knit and I'm not sure I can ever go back there!
Enter the glory of the Island Bar in Sydney where I went with a few friends yesterday in the glorious Saturday sunshine. Marketed as "the most exclusive and premium event space" in Australia one has to take a water ferry about 10 minutes from Rose Bay to a floating house just off the waters of Vaucluse in Sydney.
The white summer shack is basically a a bar with daybeds with a view to die for and many beautiful people who are very beautiful to look at but not to talk to. Pretentiousness at its best, we all agreed that the people were probably reading the Tommy Hilfiger Spring Collection blog. The most insane moment was when a muscle man with pink short-shorts and no shirt on started parading around the place.
Oh actually , not quite. The more insane moment was when we were asked to vacate our daybeds so that a VIP area could be made for Leonardo DiCaprio ... who never turned up - but we did instead see Mel B's husband... who... I had a strange feeling should have been looking after the children instead of being on the island.
People aside, the space was absolutely amazing - and it's a wonderful place to take your friends, grab a quiet corner and just relax for the entire day before you're sick of the view... but you never get sick of the view!
Pizzas were a whopping $15 each, but were very tasty - and drinks were around what you'd pay in any club and set back about $10 for most items.
Overall given the fact that I do have friends and I'm also pretty good at ignoring pretentiousness and getting on with my life and friends, this was probably one of the best places I've been in Sydney.
Thus the Island makes it to my favourite places list!
